Maxitrol and Lasix drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Maxitrol (dexamethasone; neomycin sulfate; polymyxin b sulfate) and Lasix (furosemide). Common drug interactions include cardiomegaly among females and acute respiratory distress syndrome among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Maxitrol and Lasix. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 38 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
